Relaxation of Restrictions, Part XII *Read OP For Mod Warnings*

Again there you go - permits the minister to make regulations. Those regulations dont exist, nor do we have any idea if they ever will.

If the Minister fully intended on rolling out antigen/PCR testing as a means of allowing access, why not include it in the legislation already? Instead we get discriminatory legislation and the Govt on summer break.

I am unashamed to be blinded with tears and have shaking hands as I try write this..

Yesterday I rang as many tds as I could....today I have just got off the phone with the Áras...and asked for the President to convene a Council of State and not sign such a bill into law.

I and my remaining parent who is the Presidents age are beyond disturbed. A person in their twilight years who twice survived TB (and even had a covid 94.5% recovery rate pre vax)should not have to be in fear for the future for those who they will leave behind.

I have not seen,touched or held them in over a year and a half. (Not everyone drives before you ask)... We talk on the phone..I saw their stress aged face just once during that time on a borrowed mobile on Christmas Day...This bill and those behind it, to say the least ...are still fracturing familys between those vaxed and those exempt or already naturally immune.

I love ...my beautiful country Ireland dearly ..flaws and all but this is the line in these green fields we should not step over unless we all do so together.

Quite incredible what's happening in Scotland. A collapse in positivity rate now down to 6% and a clear downward trend in case figures.

Any discussions in the Scotland as to why this is happening? Have they seen a shift in people's behaviour (more cautious) or a drop Scotland were eliminated from the Euros. Good news for them in any case.

The Bill for those who wish to read it

Barristers take on it.. a fairly fair (which you can check reading the above )deconstruction takes place of it contents from the 1minute mark and shows how open it is to being abused on top of its already discrimnatory nature.

"The fact that it's down to the minister to decide if/when it should be implemented doesn't change that."

Yes of course it does. If my Aunt had balls she'd be my uncle.

Until such a time as the minister implements it, it is not legal. There is neither a timeline or definite commitment to implement it either. You cant seriously be using "potential" regulations to defend your POV?

Kids are not in school🤔

It's quite normal behaviour if he is worried about catching the disease from somebody else or maybe he wants to protect the others around him in case he gets a phonecall from contact traci. I think it was last december when facemasks outdoors became advisory and I don't think it's changed since so sorry to prove you wrong

To me it looks like the high rate of vaccinations in Scotland is after putting a sudden stop to the delta mutation in the middle of it's rise... But don't take what I say as gospel

No, it's expected but they are protected from serious illness.

OK so , wondering why this is news ...

It may well have been an answer to a question. Media tend to report all that is said at the briefing.

It's adequate enough for its likely temporary purpose. Over the next 6 weeks vaccinations should knock case numbers on the head.

There's no great consensus whether we need to do this, nor whether it is a useful exercise. Even if do it, it'll be done in schools in September and October.
